Summary: Great for RVers
Comment: I enjoyed the book but planning a motorcycle trip soon, and the book was disappointing in that respect. Mostly written to RV owners. Nice style and gives you an idea of the friendly folks you'll meet along the way, but after reading the Milepost and a couple of other books this one didn't have much to add. Parts about where to buy the cheapest gas probably aren't relevant after a couple of years, etc.

Summary: Correction
Comment: The scale of the map between pages xii and 1 can either be 0 - 160 miles or 0 -100 km. It cannot be both since 1 statute mile is appr. 1.6 km. Consequently, it should be 0 - 100 miles (0 - ~160 km) or 0 - 100 km (0 - ~60 miles). Which is it? Thank you.

Summary: A must-read for anyone contemplating this trip.
Comment: Mr. Dalby has captured the spirit and reality of this "dream" trip. His advice, observations, and anecdotes are worth the purchase of this book, even if you don't plan to travel the Alaska Highway. His descriptions are great and the common sense approach is refreshing. We plan to take this trip in the summer of '99. Once we read the book, we were convinced that this trip was for us.

Comment: "The Alaskan Highway: An Insiders Guide" Is the most complete book that covers what to take , how to take it, where to stop, what to see, and over all how to survive the sometimes hazardous highway......I know it is what I used to start my journey to Eagle River, Alaska......I'll never forget the experience......I recommend this book and the Journey to anyone who needs a new out look on life; because the book will pave the path to the journey that will surely change your life!!!!!
